RULES GOVERNING ALL CONTESTS 

The Athletic Committee and Board of Control 


I T shall be competent for the chairman of the Athletic 
Committee of any conference institution, if he believes 
that any other conference institution is violating the letter 
or spirit of these rules, definitions, or agreements, to com- 
municate with the chairman of the Athletic Committee of 
said institution. It shall then be the duty of the Athletic 
Committee of such institution to investigate at once the 
status of the matter at issue and report, through its chair- 
man, the results of its investigation to the Athletic Com- 
mittee of the complaining institution. If this finding is not 
satisfactory to the committee making the complaint, an 
appeal may be had to the Conference Committee on Eligi- 
bility. 

2. In determining the amateur standing of any student, 
athletic boards and faculty committees are not restricted to 
the consideration of positive evidence, but are at liberty to 
consider the circumstances of the case and common report 
as a basis of action. The conference at any annual meeting 
for good cause may reinstate any student who has been de- 
clared ineligible. 

3. The chairman of any Athletic Committee may bring 
before the Conference any charges of irregularity against the 
athletic committee of any other institution, and a full inves- 
tigation in which both institutions are represented shall be 
made by the conference, and the finding shall then be re- 
ported to the faculties of each institution concerned.

CONFERENCE CODE 


4. It is the sentiment of the Conference that information 
submitted under the rules governing Faculty Athletic Com- 
mittees and Boards of Control should be as conclusive as 
possible, should be submitted at the earliest date practicable, 
and the institution concerned should have three weeks’ time 
in which to make its investigation and report its decision. 

5. Prior to the opening of the season of each sport, 
each chairman of a Board of Control shall mail to every 
other chairman a list of all the candidates for the respec- 
tive teams. This list shall be as complete as possible, and 
shall give the full name, residence, class and course of study 
of each candidate, as well as the number of years of par- 
ticipation in athletics. Such lists shall be made out on blank 
forms approved by the Conference and furnished by its sec- 
retary. In cases of migrant athletes, the institutions from 
which they came shall be designated. 

6. The following shall be legitimate expenses for athletic 
associations to bear: 

(a) Traveling Expenses. 

(b) Expenses for uniforms, shoes, and other articles 
of athletic clothing. 

(c) Medical expenses connected with training or dis- 
abilities incurred in practice or in contests. 

(d) Expenses incurred in providing players with in- 
expensive souvenirs, such as watch charms, 
sweaters, photographs, etc., provided there shall 
be no element of compensation for services ren- 
dered in the giving of any such souvenirs. 

7. The books and accounts of each athletic association 
shall be audited not less than once in each year by a com- 
mittee appointed by the athletic association, provided, how- 
ever, that a member of the faculty, who is also a director 


CONFERENCE CODE 


9 


of said athletic association, shall be a member of sucli 
auditing committee. 

8. Any athletic financial surplus shall be devoted as far as 
possible to permanent university improvements, and the 
financial management of athletics shall be entirely within 
the control of the faculty, which shall publish a report of 
receipts and expenditures.

securing information regarding the play of a team to be met

event in which he is taking part for a period long enough 
to contest in a track event, and allow said contestant to 
take his missed turn or turns in said field event within a 
reasonable time after the track event. They shall see that 
reasonable opportunities are given to contestants who de- 
sire to try in two field events that are being contested at 
the same time. To the end that there be no unnecessary 
delay, each competitor shall take his trial or turn when 
called upon to so do by the field judge having charge of 
the contest; and if, in the opinion of such field judge, the 
competitor unreasonably delays to do so, such judge may, 
in his discretion, forfeit such trial and have the same tal- 
lied against the competitor as one miss or failure.

be but two timekeepers, and their watches do not agree, 
the slowest time recorded shall be the official time. Time 
shall be taken from the flash of the pistol. Three watches 
must record the time on an event for a record. Each time-

last lap in each distance race, at which time a signal by bell 
or pistol shot shall be given the competitors. 

The assistants shall do such portions of his work as he 
may assign to them. 

IX. Starter. — The starter shall have entire control of the 
competitors at the marks, except as above provided for in

mark. He shall be responsible for starting the track events 
promptly after the men have been given their positions by 
the clerk of the course. He shall also be responsible for any 
unnecessary delay in the continuance of said events. He 
shall give a signal by pistol shot or bell at the beginning 
of the last lap in each distance race.

CONFERENCE CODE 37 


THE WESTERN INTERCOLLEGIATE 
GYMNASTIC ASSOCIATION 


qnHIS ASSOCIATION was organized by Dr. J. C. Elsom 
of the University of Wisconsin in 1902, when the first 
regular intercollegiate gymnastic meet in the West was held. 
Wisconsin and Grinnell were represented by teams, and 
Wisconsin won first place. Teams representing Minnesota, 
Wisconsin, Grinnell, and Chicago competed in the second 
meet, which was held at Minnesota in 1903. The champion- 
ship was won by Minnesota, with Wisconsin second. The 
Championships were held in Bartlett Gymnasium, at the 
University of Chicago in 1905. Wisconsin was first; Ne- 
braska, second. Illinois was represented for the first time 
and took third place. There was no meet in 1906. The 
meet in 1907, held at Chicago, was won by Minnesota; Wis- 
consin, second; Nebraska, third; and Chicago, fourth. Wis- 
consin won the championship in 1908 in the meet which was 
held at Madison; Chicago, second. Wrestling was added 
to the list of events in this meet. 

Up to 1909 the basis of scoring was as in track meets; 
i. e., first, second, and third places in each event counted 
five, three, and one, respectively. In the meet held this 
year at the University of Nebraska, however, the team scores 
were calculated on the basis of the number of points award- 
ed by the judges in each exercise in each event. This meet 
was won by Chicago; Minnesota, second. Washington Uni- 
versity of St. Louis entered the meet this year for the first

ference rules. 


42 


CONFERENCE CODE 


Rule 2. — The officials of each bout in competitions shall be 
one director, three, five, or seven judges, and one time- 
keeper. 

Rule 3. — The director shall be in charge of each bout, shall 
start the assault, shall immediately stop a corps-a-corps, 
shall bring the contestants back to the middle of the mat 
after each touch or four before recommending the engage- 
ment, shall receive the slips of the judges, compare them, 
and render the decision, after which he shall carefully retain 
the slips, turning them over to the Secretary of the Asso- 
ciation at the end of the match. 

Rule 4. — The judges shall be experienced fencers, not con- 
nected with any of the competing institutions, and their deci- 
sion shall be final and without appeal. 

Rule 5. — Each judge shall make his award independently 
and without consulting his fellow-judges, and shall keep ac- 
count of all touches* made and all offenses against form on

Rule 6. — The majority vote of the judges shall decide the 
winner of the assault, and the team of which he is a member 
shall be given one point. In case the majority give no de- 
cision and the other judge or judges give the decision in 
favor of one man, the bout shall be called a tie and fought 
off according to rules. 

Rule 7. — The timekeeper shall take time out at the com- 
mand of the director, shall call “change over” at the end of 
the second minute of assault and “time” at the end of the 
second minute after changing over. In case of a tie, “change 
over” and “time” shall be called at the end of the first 
minute. 

Rule 8. — Each bout shall consist of four minutes’ actual 
fencing. Contestants shall change position after two minutes’ 
fencing. Contestants shall come on guard in the middle of 
the space at the command of the director. In case the 
judges cannot decide, contestants shall meet for an extra 
assault of two minutes’ duration, changing sides at the end 
of one minute. 

Rule 9. — Contestants shall fence within a marked space 
twenty feet long and thirty-six inches wide; a mark shall 
plainly indicate the middle. When a contestant oversteps 
these limits, it shall be considered a point against form and 
the director shall stop the bout. All the judges shall place a 
point in the form column opposite the name of the opponent 
of the man so overstepping these limits, provided, however, 
the engagement was started in the middle of the mat. 

Rule 10.’ — Clean touches shall count only when made upon 
the body within the space bounded by a line running from the 
base of the collar along the crest of the right shoulder, along 
the crest of the shoulder and under the arm to the posterior 


44 


CONFERENCE CODE 


limit of the arm pit, down to the waist line, along the 
waist line to the left side of the body, up to the posterior 
limit of the left arm pit, up and around to the crest of the 
left shoulder, along the crest of the left shoulder to the base 
of the collar and around the base of the collar to the crest 
of the right shoulder. 

Rule 11. — A touch made outside the space where touches 
count may/ be counted by a judge, provided, in his opinion, it 
would have been good if the contestant upon whom the 
touch was made, had not taken an irregular position or made 
an improper movement. 

Rule 12. — Turning, ducking, dodging, or moving in any 
manner during an attack so that the opponent’s point falls 
on a part of the body other than that on which it should have 
fallen had not the movement been made, shall be considered 
as illegitimate movements; but the backward lunge shall not 
be considered illegitimate, provided the left leg (or right, 
if the contestant be left-handed), is fully extended and 
straight. 

Rule 13. — Should a fencer unduly cover his body with the 
arm or head and receive a touch on either, which otherwise 
would have been on the body, it shall be counted as good. 

Rule 14. — A clean touch made outside the space where 
touches count shall be considered a foul, and the contestants 
must go on guard again in the middle of the mat. 

Rule 15. — The beginning of the assault is marked by the 
contact of the blades, which is called the engagement. After 
the engagement, an appreciable interval must elapse before 
an attack is made. 

Rule 16. — After the engagement, either fencer has the right 
to attack. The full extension of the arm in the direction of 
the opponent’s body is a necessary preliminary of an attack. 
A movement of preparation which is made without the full 


CONFERENCE CODE 


45 


extension of the arm, such as a beat or pressure, a change 
of engagement, a feint made with the arm bent, or a single 
advance, ^oes not constitute an attack. 

Rule 17. — If both fencers commence an attack at the same 
moment and both are touched, whether on the target or not, 
neither touch counts. But if only one is touched on the 
target and the other is untouched, the touch is valid. 

Rule 18. — The competitor attacked should parry. If a stop 
thrust is made, it shall count in favor of the one who makes 
it, provided he be not touched at all. Backward lunge, ex- 
tention of arm and extension of the back leg upon opponent’s 
attack shall be, judged according to the rules governing an 
ordinary stop thrust. 

Rule 19. — The Stop Thrust is a counter attack made either 
on the opponent’s preparation to attack, or upon his advanc- 
ing or making feints with the arms bent or wide of the target. 
If the fencer who attemi:ts to make a stop thrust touches 
his opponent and is himself absolutely untouched, or if he 
touches his opponent obviously before he is himself touched, 
the touch is in his favor. If he is touched simultaneously, 
either on the target or elsewhere, the stop thrust is not 
valid, and the touch, if on the target, is in favor of his 
opponent; if not on the target, neither touch is valid. If 
one fencer makes several feints, and the other, after trying 
to parry the first feint, makes a stop touch, the resulting 
touches, if simultaneous, are invalid. 

Rule 20. — The Time Thrust is a counter attack made with 
opposition upon the opponent’s attack in such a way that it 
parries the attack on which it is made. Hence it follows 
that a touch made by a time thrust is valid only if the 
fencer who attempts it is absolutely untouched, and in case 
of mutual touches, the touch is in favor of the fencer who 
delivers the attack or riposte. 


46 


CONFERENCE CODE 


Rule 21. — When a fencer is attacked, it is only after he has 
parried successfully that he acquires the right to attack, 
(except by a time thrust). The attack after a parry is 
called a riposte. The riposte must in like manner be par- 
ried before a third attack (counter-riposte) can be made, and 
so on. A touch made on riposte counts two points.* 

Rule 22. — A touch, whether fair or foul, invalidates the 
riposte. 

Rule 23. — A passe shall be considered a foul touch. 

Rule 24. — A touch is of no value when the point is twisted 
on to the body after the slap of the foil. 

Rule 25. — A remise is a renewal of the attack made in the 
same line as the original attack. The redoiiblement d-attaque 
is a renewal of the attack made with a change of line. 

The remise or redoiiblement made on a fencer who 
ripostes immediately after a parry must be made with suf- 
ficient opposition to parry the riposte in such a way that 
the fencer who attempts it is absolutely untouched. In the 
event of mutual touches, the riposte only is valid. 

If after a parry there is a distinct pause followed by a 
riposte {riposte a temps perdu) and remise or redoublement 
d'attaque delivered simultaneously, the resulting touches are 
both invalid. If the remise or redoublement is made before 
the riposte a temps perdu, the remise or redoublement only 
is valid; if after the riposte, the riposte only is valid. 

If the riposte is composed of several feints or of feints 
made with the arm bent or wide of the target, the remise or 
redoublement to be valid must be delivered before the final. 

Rule 26. — A touch made from a thrust started with the el- 
bow behind the body (jab thrust), shall not count, and shall 
be considered an offense against form. 

Rule 27. — A disarmament is of no value. A touch immedi- 
ately following a disarmament counts. 


CONFERENCE CODE 


47 


Rule 28. — Contestants must acknowledge all touches, fair 
or foul, in a clear, audible voice. If a contestant persistently 
fails to acknowledge touches, he shall be warned twice by 
the director, and on the third warning disqualified, and for- 
feit the bout. 

Rule 29. — Each competitor shall fence with the same hand 
throughout the bout. 

Rule 30.— Competitors shall wear plain white, unglazed jac- 
kets at the championships, and the boundaries wherein touch- 
es count shall be outlined with narrow black braid. 

Rule 31. — Foil blades shall not exceed thirty-four inches in 
length. The guard of the foil shall not exceed four inches 
in any dimension. Tips shall be made of white tape or 
white string, and shall not exceed three-eigths of an inch 
in diameter. 

Rule 32. — Before all competitions, the judges shall inspect 
the weapons and costumes of all contestants, and disqualify 
those whose equipment violates any of the rules. 

Rule 33. — At the conclusion of the bout, a judge may 
award one point for form to the fencer he thinks superior in 
that respect, basing his decision on the general bearing and 
form in defense and attack during the bout. 


BROADSWORD FENCING RULES 


Rule 1. — The officials of each bout in competitions shall 
be three, five or seven judges, and one timekeeper. 

Rule 2. — Specifications for weapons shall be those estab- 
lished by the Amateur Fencers’ League of America. 

Rule 3. — All contests shall be for a majority of touches, 
cuts, or points made during a four-minute bout, two minutes 
each way. 


48 


CONFERENCE CODE 


Rule 4. — A touch made by a parry and riposte shall count 
two points. 

Rule 5. — A competitor not parrying or returning after be- 
ing touched, whether fairly or foully, shall be penalized one 
point. 

Rule 6. — A cut or thrust on any part of the body above 
the hip shall count. 

Rule 7. — Contestants shall touch blades and retreat one 
step after each touch, whether valid or not. A contestant 
failing to comply with this rule, will be penalized half a 
point for each offense. 

Rule 8. — A touch made with the flat of the blade shall 
not count. 


WRESTLING RULES 


The Western Intercollegiate Gymnastic Association is op-

Rule 4. — Section 1. Immediately before the competition, 
each competitor who has weighed in shall draw in person 
his number and compete according to the drawings made

system shown by the following diagram: 


Round 1 Round 2 Round 3 

A I 

B ' 



When the number of competitors is not a power of 2, 
there shall be byes in the first round. The number of byes 
shall be equal to the difference between the number of com- 
petitors, and the next higher power of 2, and the number 
of pairs that shall meet in the first round shall be equal 
to the difference between the number of competitors and the 
next lower power of 2. The byes, if even in number, shall 
be divided, as the names are drawn, in equal proportions at 
the top and bottom of the list, above and below the pairs. 
If uneven in number, there shall be one more bye at the 
bottom than at the top. Thus:

Sec. 2. Each contestant shall be entitled to the assistance 
of one second only, and no advice or coaching shall be given 
to any competitor by his second, or by any person, during 
the progress of any bout. Any violation of this rule, or 
of Rule 7, Sec. 3, by any contestant, or the refusal of any

bout as above. 

Sec. 5. A rest of not less than five minutes or more than 
ten minutes shall be allowed between final bouts. 

Rule 7. — Section 1. Both shoulders momentarily pinned 
to the mat shall constitute a fall. A fall with any part of 
the body off the mat shall not count unless in the opinion 
of the referee the loser was not put at a disadvantage by 
having a part of his body off the mat. Flying and rolling 
falls shall not count. (Note. — By “momentarily pinned” is 
meant pinned for the referee’s count of three seconds.)
